Row reduction
Gaussian elimination, rank and solving Ax = b.
Three row operations (swap, scale, add a multiple of one row to another) bring any matrix to reduced row-echelon form. The number of pivots is the rank; the reduced form of an augmented matrix reads out the solution of a linear system.

Vrae wat mense vra
What does a determinant mean geometrically?
It is the factor by which the matrix scales area (2×2) or volume (3×3), with a negative sign if orientation flips. Zero means the matrix flattens space and cannot be undone.
What is an eigenvector?
A direction the matrix does not turn: it only stretches it by the eigenvalue. Along eigenvectors a complicated matrix acts like multiplication by a number.
Why is matrix multiplication not commutative?
Because a matrix is a transformation and AB means "do B, then A". Rotating then reflecting is not the same as reflecting then rotating.
